Retro-Futuristic
Ah, the ASP upgrade, this brings back memories - I still have the box (however not sealed, the chip and the card (in one of my retro machines. It was my second sound card (after the Soundblaster CT1320B 1. 0 (with CMS on it)/1. 5 (with CMS upgrade option - actually can't remember if I had CMS or not) where you now also have the empty box of) and actually, a colleague of my father recommended it and put it in my PC. When I later started upgrading the PC myself, I recognized the empty socket and the ASP on the invoice for the sound card which made me suspicious. The dealer, actually a very great local store back then, agreed on the mistake but as exchanging a meantime 2 year old card was not an option provided me the upgrade kit which I put in myself.
The demos for Q Sound and Text to Speech were impressing, the disappointment was that nearly nothing supported this - I think there were one or two DOS/Early Windows 95 games that supported Q Sound and the 3D Pseudo Surround was noticable, but not much around for this.

Since you build a PC for every niche in time, for the new case why not make a gaming PC for the Windows 7 era? 2008/9 to 2014. A time when MATX was really kicking off, SSDs had just come out and when RGB meant a blue LED!
I still rewatch the Windows XP build often just because it's like it's for an era of gaming I missed out on as a kid.

That is some awesome stuff. That 4, 800 yen screen saver from 1995 would have been worth about 50 contemporaneously, which accounting for inflation is about 100. They've been strangling anime fans for their money for over 25 years. Good stuff.

Great episode, I got a few super christmas gift ideas out of it, one of them being that history of the computer book. I will give it to my niece, as an encouragement that it's cool to like computers too, when you are a girl.

Thanks for all you do!
I'd love to see you start a machine with the earliest DOS you've got and upgrade it (software, O/S and hardware as needed) all the way through the different versions of Windows up to the latest.

One of the most peaceful and calming types of videos to show up in the feed. Love these, especially great to watch while doing mindless chores at work. Thanks for this!

Weekend evening somewhere in 1997:
''Gotta get the KY Jelly while the Lust! is loading''
sounds of ultra compressed 11025Hz audio AVI videos in the backround

One note on that HALO scanner mouse is don't let the driver update as the last driver update that gets autodownloaded from their server will brick it.

Oddware: Clint's Odyssee

The book that Taras wrote is very interesting although a little sobering when you see your local area portrayed on one of the pages!

Hey Clint, You should do a LGR Blurbs video on the DNF 2001 prototype leak on either late-1990s or early-2000s era PC hardware.
